Equal Rights Riddim – 1998/2005 – Roaring Lion

EQUAL RIGHTS RIDDIM came from Roaring Lion Records in 1998, with a 2005 reissue or update tied to the same set. It pulls together a strong lineup that includes Buju Banton, Capleton, Jah Cure, Marcia Griffiths, Cocoa Tea, Richie Stephens, Anthony B, Cutty Ranks, and Thriller U. Buju Banton’s Justice and Capleton’s Red A Fire are among the key cuts, while Jah Cure’s The Little That They Give and Marcia Griffiths and Cocoa Tea on Real Man add a lighter, more melodic contrast. The title says a lot about the package too: conscious reggae with a clear roots message, carried by artists who were already well established in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
